Snow Day

With almost 300 sunny days per year, life in the Valley of the Sun certainly has its weather perks. Yet every winter, we can’t help but dream of snowy getaways, complete with log cabins, hot cocoa, group ski trips, and all the fuzzy socks and sweaters. Check out these chilly works from the PhxArt collection to envision a snow day of your own, right from where you are.
